Needling people.

Needling people. I have a habit of playing devils advocate, and just needling people.

I have a good time with it.

Cloud · 04-30-2008, 02:59 PM

too bad. Maliciousness is at the top of my anathema list. Irritating people on purpose just for your own amusement is despicable.

and yeah, I know this is just a clone thread.

Ohh really??? Needling can be either good natured or bad. If it all in good fun and a 2-way situation - no problem, but if you're just bein a dick, then .....

This is a bad habit of mine. I try to restrain it, especially around people who don't know me well. (The Cellar is a major outlet for it.)

Don't feel bad Steve, the needling you give might be the only poking some people ever get. . .

Cloud · 04-30-2008, 04:17 PM

the only kind of needling I like . . . is the kind that results in body art.

lostskye · 04-30-2008, 04:39 PM

Some people don't take it well but I like it

Cloud · 04-30-2008, 05:02 PM

you like being needled? why?

regular.joe · 04-30-2008, 06:05 PM

I don't mean needling like being a dick, unless the situation warrants. Most of the time I'm being flippant and sarcastic.

and yes, I was just trying to needle someone and start a clone thread. did it work?

Yeah, or it might be to only poking I ever give.

Cloud · 04-30-2008, 08:17 PM

you don't think being flippant and sarcastic is being a dick?

regular.joe · 04-30-2008, 09:34 PM

Cloud · 04-30-2008, 09:35 PM

As much as I think telling people their sense of humor is sub-par, not acceptable in society, and calling them on it in a joke thread you could just have easily ignored is. That's not antagonistic, just in a more passive way?

At some point you have to look at yourself and wonder why people picking on each other, in fun, bothers you so much.

And I don't mean you you, I mean anyone you.

I'm starting to wonder why the devil would need all these self-starter advocates? WTF? What's your background? Do you even have the proper qualifications?Oh yea...The devil is such a yahoo he would need your assistance. He needs a bunch of people to go ahead and stand up for him, with flimsy arguements. It's a sham.plbbbt! The devil laughs at your incompetence, and your advocacy programs in his name!! Bwuahahahaaa!
